His parents were Jews fleeing Russia in the late1800's. He was a high school football star at Baltimore City College in 1936! After leaving Wake Forest he served in WWII. But he died before I was old enough to hear any of his life stories. I just knew what my mother said... that he really wanted a son to pass on the "Deckelman" name! And so I was it! I was born 2 1/2 months premature! Cross-eyed! Just over 4lbs! I spent months in the ICU! I wasn't getting started off on the right foot! I then went to live with a Jewish foster family until age 6 when my mom and dad picked me back up. My mom was attractive but crazy! She was mentally ill! Her words from my dad about me carrying on the family name triggered something deep! I had to make a name for myself! I had to be somebody! I would go on to make All District in football my senior year! My role models were warriors! Strong men! Football coaches! Men like my dad! Being an Airborne Ranger or a Green Beret, or in Desert Storm, aren't highlights of my life to me. Working at Facebook or on Mega Yachts or being a Federal Air Marshal doesn't define me either. I killed a lot of bad men in Iraq while being surrounded by some of the best men I know! Our "Team Miami" was special! We had chemistry! It was a family! A warrior class of people! Rules that make sense to me! I was home! And I enjoyed killing bad men! My Team killed a lot of them! I've survived 2 divorces, and as you will hear I was the monstrous-monster in both! I have two beautiful kids, and two beautiful grandkids! I call my grand daughter Bella-cakes! I saw my dad in her eyes one day! There is something very special about that girl! Before my thru hike of the AT, and before I found yoga and a more mindful life, I use to feel sorry for myself for not having my dad. But I woke up! I've taken a fork in the road. At age 55, I feel better than ever! My internal volume stays really low now. I spent 50 years living with my internal volume in the high "hell" range! Just dragging my stressed-out body and everyone else that loves, and cares about me along for the ride through this Busy, Toxic, and Chaotic Life! Come strap-on my shoes for a minute or two! Come take a walk in what it feels like to become a Monster! A Killer! Come hear and feel how I became a Mindful-Monster! And a Yoga Teacher! Namaste #charity #community #mentalhealth

Poromechanics III - Biot Centennial (1905-2005)


Book Description

These proceedings represent the latest advances in the mechanics of porous materials, known as poromechanics. The porous materials considered are solids containing voids that are impregnated with fluid. The focus is on the mechanical interactions of the inhomogeneous solid with the single- or multi-phase fluid under the loading of mechanical force, fluid pressure, thermal, chemical, and magnetic fields. The response time can be in static, diffusional, and dynamic ranges. The length scale can start from nano, to micro, macro, and up to field scales. Its application covers many branches of science and engineering, including geophysics, geomechanics, composite materials, biomechanics, acoustics, seismicity, civil, mechanical, environmental, and petroleum engineering. The approaches taken include analytical, computational, and experimental. To honor the pioneering contributions of Maurice A. Biot (1905-1985) to poromechanics, the Biot Conference on Poromechanics was convened for the first time in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium in 1998. The success of the first conference led to the 2nd Biot Conference held in Grenoble, France in 2002. To celebrate the centennial birthday of Biot (May 25, 2005), the 3rd Biot Conference on Poromechanics was held at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, U.S.A., on May 24-27, 2005.




Steroid-Protein Interactions


Book Description

This is the story of steroid-protein interactions as one investigator sees it. Following the general concept of this monograph series, it emphasizes the results and interpretations obtained in the author's laboratory, and is therefore a subjective account. Recognizing, how ever, that the discussion of the subject would be incomplete if the material were limited to one scientist's work, the essential achieve ments of other investigators have been incorporated. An effort has thus been made to give a balanced presentation and to enable the reader to see in perspective the varied facets of the interactions between steroids and proteins. Since this is the first comprehensive treatment of the topic, it seems appropriate to go to the roots, and try to find out how it all started. The first chapters, therefore, take the reader to the laboratories of those who very early conceived the significance of the attachment of dyes, drugs, and other conspicuous molecules to those colloids called proteins. The discovery of the steroid hormones set the stage for meaningful investigation of their interaction with proteins of various origins and functions - a process which is continuing today with increasing vigor.
